UTILIZATION

I do not think you can say a guitar or bass to suit all styles of music. I played on Fender Jazz bass (a Japanese, not an old U.S.), 2 Warwick, and now the ATK 5 string.

I kept the latter for my current group 70's classic rock style. I kept the Fender JB if she had been good but the build quality and wood was horrific!

For funk, jazz-rock ... the warwick were good but not good 70's rock. With the ATK, it's just the opposite.

I did not find the handle too large (for a 5 string). It is VERY comfortable, fast enough to play. I must say that my previous low had a rosewood handle type and that ATK has a handle Mapple.

It's very solid, the handle has never changed (it's not like I JBass japan!).

SOUNDS

If you are looking for a bass with very low frequencies present, she is!

Raport by an old Precision, it's even located in the low frequency or sub-bass. The "growl" for most of the midrange-bass Precision or MM (I know not good).

With this sound, the B string can be heard is not always the case with the competition. on the other hand, relative to the volume obtained with the strings of Si, Mi, La, D and G strings are slightly behind

However, this does not mean that only low frequencies, but the sound remains as modern basses are located further down in frequency with a passive bass.

OVERALL OPINION

For the price, it's a killing (as they say in France you !!!).

Excellent bass to rock hardcore (or soul ... walking bass). For funk (slap) or jazz, go somewhere else.
